Thankful Thursday - My Son Walked away

That is my son's car......

sleep and semis don't mix

My son, 17 had enjoyed the Senior Prom the night before.

He was driving to his girlfriends to pick up cupcakes for his sister's birthday.

The sun was in his eyes, he closed them for a second too long

and hit the big rig that was parked inches off the road.

Thankful Thursday!

He walked away, a few scratches, a bruise on his knee,

a stiff neck that did not prevent

him from playing baseball.

We are Thankful there was no passenger.

Sometimes life sneaks up, smacks you,

and you are reminded what is important.

God decided Shane was still needed here on Earth,

Angels protected him.

Oh my, I would say that someone has big plans for that boy. Wow, he is blessed, you are blessed, wow again. You just never know what life has in store for you, in just an instant things change forever.

I am so glad he walked away from that.

Susan, you have done a lot of good things for a lot of people, myself included. I am thankful that Shane wasn't hurt and this time God made sure something very good was done for you and all of your family. In the words of the great but lesser known philosopher Tim Campbell, "hey, it's only metal". In this case it was only metal that got hurt and Shane saw his own life be a part of a miracle.
